Sky Blues, City slip up – Round 6 review

Sydney FC missed the opportunity to grab outright top spot in the Westfield W-League after failing to take advantage of Melbourne City’s maiden defeat in the competition.

Eighteen matches and nearly a season and a half and after their Westfield W-League debut, Melbourne City tasted defeat for the first time. A late winner from 15-year-old Karly Roestbakken ensured Canberra United left Melbourne with a 2-1 victory.

A lone Sam Kerr goal was enough for Perth Glory to edge out Sydney FC in Round 6’s final match on Sunday.

Brisbane Roar stayed fourth with a hard-fought 3-2 win over a brave Adelaide United who had been 3-0 down early in the second half.

Melbourne Victory were moments from their first win of the season only for Western Sydney Wanderers to equalise during injury time for a 2-2 draw.

Next weekend’s round is highlighted by a massive match-up in front of the Fox Sports/ABC TV cameras, as high-flying Canberra United host Brisbane Roar.
